Every foundation trust has a Council of Governors whose main purpose is to represent the views and opinions of the organisation's members, as well as the public.
Governors stand for a term of up to three years and can stand for re election on two more occasions.
They are elected by members or appointed by our partner organisations including:
- Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
- Lincolnshire County Council
- University of Lincoln
- Lincolnshire Police
- Shine Lincolnshire
- Healthwatch Lincolnshire
- LPFT volunteers
Governors work with the Board of Directors (which is legally responsible for our day-to-day running and strategic development) and agree upon actions in order to to meet the needs of the community.
The Council of Governors link the Board of Directors to the membership and community.
The Chairman of the Council of Governors is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Any person wishing to become a Governor for LPFT must first be a member of the Trust.
Below you can watch a video from Carole Hagan explaining more about her role as a Governor.
